Would you marry someone who is attractive but lacking in intelligence?

Do they have the heart though? Some people can be stupid but really caring. Some people can be hot but really caring (although very rare! hahah). But I like creatively intelligent people.. some of those may not be book smart but interesting.

I would marry someone I loved. When I was a teenager I used to tell my friends I would never marry a redhead. My first husband had red hair. As far as stupid I don't know because I am interested in all types of things and so if my fella wasn't or wasn't able to understand certain things I might not want to spend my life with him.

I don't see why not, if I loved them. even if they weren't attractive or intelligent and I loved them, I'd still marry them. some people are sweet, kind, affectionate, lovely to be around, and not intelligent. intelligence doesn't make you a nicer person. I'd rather be with someone who is kind and loving, but not so academic than with someone really clever whose company I don't enjoy.

I could look over everything if I loved the guy. My current boyfriend didn't finish high school, and he isn't college educated. And sometimes it is kind of hard to carry on a conversation with him, because his mind seems to be in a million different places (he says that he has ADD). But you know what? He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. He loves me, AND my 4 kids, and is sticking with me as I go through the pain of medical school. That's all that matters. He treats me like a queen. Now.....if he would only ask me to marry him. LOL

I think if you love this person, I don't see any problem in marry a not that bright person. The most important thing in a couple is that the they have to understand each other.

For me, intelligence is one of the most important things in a relationship. Far more important than looks! So no, I would never be able to continue a relationship with someone just because they were attractive.

To me I would say I can't marry an ugly duckling no matter how intelligent he may be. But I can't marry a princely looking either if he is dump. I would go for just an ordinary looking guy provided he is smart rather than a handsome one who can't even think wisely.

If you are talking of true love, it does not really matter if the person your heart is shouting for is attractive or intelligent. Love knows no characteristics. But for the sake of discussion, if you will ask me, I will choose someone who has brains rather than someone who is good looking. Remember, good looks deplete and fade. Everybody will grow old and good looks will be replaced by wrinkles, eyeglasses and false teeth. But the brain and the intelligence, no matter how old we grow, remains. I cannot stand not having a good conversation with someone I will grow old with. Also, this is the person I am going to marry, so that means he is going to be the father of my children. That said, I want my children to learn from their father, intellectually.

When it comes to loving someone we never sees their flaws and shortcomings because we love the whole of him/her. It's like a package deal...loving the person for the way he/she is. So,it's not a matter even if the person is ugly,handsome,dull,smart,black or white. It's love that matters....unless you were looking for a perfect according to your standards. have a good day jaiho®

I think not. If you're thinking of marrying a person just because of their looks, think again. Physical beauty is tarnished as time passes by. However if you find someone who can challenge you in an intellectual level your relationship would be more functional and would be more dynamic. Just think an intelligent person can make you laugh and cry, and can teach you and learn from you at the same time. If you like a person with only physical beauty I think it would be more on lust rather than love. However there is an exception. True intelligence is not only defined by schools. Rather, the ability to contribute to society. If this 10/10 guy or girl is a functioning member of the society even if he/she did not finish school and really makes you happy, I can't see any problem of having a relationship with him/her.

I wouldn't marry with a person lack of,intelligence because his beauty is gonna end one day, so who is going to stay with me is his ignorance, So for me is very important his goals, his attitude toward the life, and his education.

I think it depends. If you carry on a long term relationship with that person purely because you are simply just physically attracted to them, then that relationship isn't going to work out in the long run. I think it's imporant to look at this beautiful person apart from their beauty. So maybe they aren't traditionally book smart. Are they kind and caring? Are they creative? Are they intelligent in other ways then the traditional "book smarts"? If the answer to those questions are yes, then I think there are feelings for the person beyond just their physical beauty and a relationship can work in the long run. Personally, I sort of need someone who is "book smart" in a relationship. I like to enjoy a lot of "intellectual" things - museums, documentaries, a good current affairs debate. If they can't relate to me on that level, then I can see myself becoming bored very easily, no matter how attractive they are.

I find that when girls aren't the smartest I find it actually kind of cute, is that just me? o.O

Funny topic. we don't need to run so fast in life ,we should slow down our steps and find those beautiful things , sometimes you need to follow your heart , is she the one , intelligence doesn't mean anything , can you feel happiness when you are with her? i think this means more.

I cannot understand why I marry my wife despite the fact that she is not attractive nor have brain. I came up with a decision that I will marry her for my security but after 1 month of our wedding I realize that I made a very big mistakes because it's against my will to be dependent with her specially if we talk about financial needs. I hate her and it seems she did a big mistakes instead of me. Until now I am still thinking what happen to me that time. Both of us now financially stable and I cannot betrayed also my wife.

I think if you love some one intelligence really does not matter...people can [and ]do learn over time. Besides if you are that "intelligent" you should know how the person is on your first date...other wise why date for a while?

For me attraction is a lot of things, not just physical beauty. I don´t even know what percentage is what. But generosity, wits, sense of humor are as important for me as the rest. I suppose that part of it if entirelly physical. Body movements, hands, eyes, I don´t know. I am not attracted to fat men, but I can see that there are a lot of women who like them. I need to be able to have deep conversations with people from time to time. I would not like to be unable to talk like that with my spouse. But then, I come from a very cultivated fmily in my country and that stamps a mark.

Many many years ago, there was a girl named Hayly. She was average height, with long blond hair, that came down below her shoulders. She was beautiful. But more than that, she was so kind, and caring toward other people. She was a nice person, bitter to no one. Often she would not hesitate to give you a hug, for any reason at all. She was a wonderful girl. But, she was a child in her mind. She talked like a child. Acted like a child. And played like a child. Sometimes I wish I had the will to marry this girl, because she was so kind and sweet. But marriage is more than physical attraction, and sleeping in the same bed. How could I have a relationship, when the other person is not at your level? Do you pull out a coloring book, and crayons whenever you have something important talk about? I could never see myself with someone that I couldn't have an intelligent conversation with, over the important things in life. I do hope that Hayly has not changed at all over the years. That she has found someone who can love her well. And to all those like Hayly, I wish the best for you too.

If you are in love then nothing stops you. But for me intelligence matters. Here intelligence does not concern only with studies but to understand little little things and the logic behind everything.

I would marry and/or carry a long term relationship with that kind of person if I truely loved him and if he did the same too. I don't really mind coz I am not the brightest person too hehe
